About Andy

Meet Andy, a 1.5-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix packed into a charming 13-pound body. If you’re searching for a quiet lap dog, you might want to keep scrolling, because Andy bursts with energy and personality! He’s our official greeter at adoption events, ensuring every visitor feels welcome and leaves with a hearty dose of kisses. His philosophy? Personal space is overrated. Whether he's making friends or showing affection, this little guy is committed to spreading joy. Andy's daily adventures start with enthusiastic car rides, where he attempts to bestow kisses upon his chauffeur—believing that every trip should come with complimentary facial treatments. He’s fully house trained, crate trained, and heartworm negative. With his outgoing temperament, he gets along great with other dogs, viewing them as potential best friends. He’s playful and affectionate, making him a delightful companion. He would prosper in a home with a securely fenced yard for zoomies, and ideally, alongside another active dog who enjoys playtime as much as he does. While he likes kids, Andy is best suited for families with older children who understand how to play gently with a little guy like him. In summary, adopting Andy might bring an avalanche of joy, and be prepared for a daily quota of kisses! If you're ready for laughter and love, apply to welcome Andy into your home! He’s currently in Texas but is willing to travel to approved adopters in the Midwest, Northeast, and even Canada. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
